Friday, March 29th: Cleansing and Releasing through Pain and BDSM

This first day of the queer spring rituals weekend is all about releasing the energy of the winter and getting your body ready for spring. We will build our own impact tools, learn to attach limbs to structures using rope, and plan our pain and release rituals together. The evening will be all about pain, impact play, and BDSM, being loud and releasing all the tensions and emotions from your body.

What to bring:  any materials you could imagine using for building impact play toys: twigs, flowers, bike inner tyres, that old leather jacket, boots too broken to repair, kitchen utensils, shoehorns… you get the idea!

Minimum Knowledge Level: none

Schedule:

12-15.30 Kinky crafts and skill building, getting to know each other and planning our sessions
15.30-17 Shared lunch (included in the ticket)
17-22 Slow kink play party

 

Saturday, March 30th: Relaxing and Grounding through Touch, Cuddles and Sensuality

This second day of the queer spring rituals weekend is focused on grounding and connecting to yourself and others. We will explore different senses – touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight – solo, partnered, and in groups. We’ll get in touch with our vulnerability and emotions, understanding what touch means to us. This will lead us to a soft evening of cuddles and sensuality.

What to bring:  any sensory play toys or objects: blindfolds, earplugs, headphones, candy, massage oils, ticklers, plushies, blankets, candles…

Schedule:

12-15.30 Exploring touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight solo, partnered, and in groups
15.30-17 Shared lunch with a sensory explosion (included in the ticket)
17-22 Touch and cuddle party

 

Sunday, March 31st: Building Fertile Energy through a little bit of an Orgy

This final day of the queer spring rituals weekend is centered on building fertile energy in yourself and in relation to others. We will do multiple exercises that will guide you toward understanding your desires, negotiating with others, and releasing unwanted inhibitions. We will touch, moan, penetrate, negotiate, confess our desires, and figure out alternative ways to have an orgy. The orgy is not focused on (only) genitals and sex, and we invite you to use your imagination to create the group play of your dreams. We will provide safer sex tools.

What to bring:  anything you need for an orgy: toys, a towel, rope, clothes you look hot in, your favorite lube, massage oil, mouthwash… use your imagination!

Schedule:

12-15.30 Warming up for the orgy through multiple exercises and games
15.30-17 Shared lunch (included in ticket)
17-22 A little bit of an orgy
